Where does the LMS sit?
• Larger Learning Ecosystem than before
• Learning can happen everywhere
• Many specialist applications and tools and activities and content
• The LMS cannot be everything
• Need to facilitate integration with all these other systems
![Page 3: Moodle as the central hub of learning with tools plugged in –learning tool interoperability](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020110/5560b12bd8b42aef3b8b45ce/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The old challenge
• Each application needs to create LMS specific integrations
• Always updating/recoding that integration with each release of each LMS version
• On-going debugging / patching
• Multiple user interfaces to the same system
• Complex support
![Page 4: Moodle as the central hub of learning with tools plugged in –learning tool interoperability](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020110/5560b12bd8b42aef3b8b45ce/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A solution?
• One integration methodology
• All suitable LMS will work with it
• Can update the application without interfering with or considering the LMS code
• Can write the tool/activity in any language as long as it is compliant – language of LMS does not matter
![Page 6: Moodle as the central hub of learning with tools plugged in –learning tool interoperability](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020110/5560b12bd8b42aef3b8b45ce/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Who are the IMS?
The IMS Global Learning Consortium (IMS GLC) is a global, nonprofit, member organization that strives to enable the growth and impact of learning technology in the education and corporate learning sectors worldwide.
![Page 7: Moodle as the central hub of learning with tools plugged in –learning tool interoperability](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020110/5560b12bd8b42aef3b8b45ce/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Mission
Your mission if you choose to accept it is to • Develop a standard way of integrating
learning applications with learning platforms
• Enable a seamless user experience between the systems
• Enabling real-time user account creation and authentication, and allow grades be transferred back to the LMS
![Page 8: Moodle as the central hub of learning with tools plugged in –learning tool interoperability](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020110/5560b12bd8b42aef3b8b45ce/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why IMS LTI?
“Allow the seamless connection of web-based, externally hosted applications and content, or Tools to platforms that present them to users”
![Page 9: Moodle as the central hub of learning with tools plugged in –learning tool interoperability](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020110/5560b12bd8b42aef3b8b45ce/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
So what does this mean?
• Standard way of integrating learning applications with learning platforms
• Applications – Tool Provider
• Platforms(LMS) – Tool Consumers
• Consumer & Provider exchange data to facilitate the seamless experience
